so we have decided to keep the baby. I'm almost 9 weeks and we will wait to tell everyone. we live with his parents in the basement and wouldn't be moving out for a while. any creative, fun, not so serious ways to tell family about it? also, is there any preparation you wish you were doing or started thinking about at 9 weeks?
@swanson.jacquelyn, hmm not this early. It’s just mainly take care of your body in the beginning. But later on (I start at 20 weeks) getting clothes, bed stuff, bottles, diapers and wipes and stuff like that. I didn’t get to many diapers only because I didn’t know if baby was going to be allergic. It took trying 3 or 4 different diaper brands before I found one that worked for my babe. They wear different brands- even now.

I've got the basics of prenatal and eating, all that good stuff. I didn't know if there was any other preparation I should be doing
Apply for Medicaid in your state. Get on wic. Apply for food stamps if you need them. Start drinking water and eating healthier. You can buy some prenatals- i started with gummies cause it was easier to take. You can get some crackers to keep with you cause morning sickness is no joke.
Start eating healthier and taking a prenatal vitamin. I didn't and I ended up with anemia. I'm glad you decided to keep your baby! 🌈

So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.

Moms,
We'd love to know which baby bottles you use and what you think about it 🍼 Tell us why it was great, what the challenges were, why you'd totally register for it again, or why you wanted to return it. We want to hear it all so our moms can make informed decisions about what to buy for their babies!
Thank you!

Revealing to SO's children and ex...
My SO has two boys and he's afraid of telling them we are expecting... Do we tell their mom first? Do any of you have the same situation? Any advice??
I recommend applying for WIC asap. I'm still procrastinating on it even though it would help me a lot financially.
